The tranquility of Liska's Jewish cemetery provides a solemn backdrop as a man fervently prays at the grave of Hershel Lisker, or Tzvi Hersh Friedman, expressing his deepest devotion. From his place of deep devotion, he seeks the miracle of love, hope, and healing, fervently wishing it upon the entire community.


In the sacred act of prayer, the man bows with respect at the venerable tombstone, as if embracing the convergence of history and the present. The sacred tomb of Rav Hershel Lisker, or Tzvi Hersh Friedman, in Liska Jewish Cemetery serves as a gateway to the Eternal, where heartfelt prayers ascend and merge in faith. 


Each day, thousands of faithful individuals visit this holy site, experiencing the ongoing presence of Rebbe Tzvi Hersh Friedman’s spirit, which envelops those who pray for a message of hope and faith. Requests, wishes, blessings. Words in prayer are more than mere sounds; they are emotions and desires that emanate from the heart and reach the divine.


In Orthodox Jewish communities, prayer centers on asking for divine blessings to protect childhood innocence and to bring relief to the sick. In the cemetery, the legacy of faith and tradition is upheld, uniting the deep reverence of bygone eras with the earnest prayers of the present. 


The Kerestir Rebbe, Yeshaya Steiner, appeared here from time to time to pray and ask for a blessing at the grave of his great teacher, Hershel Lisker. His teacher helped the Kerestir Rebbe's community to hold fast to their traditions and persevere in faith when it was needed most. In this sacred moment, where the heart resonates in the man's words, the prayer is a deep connection between the past, present and future, carrying the deepest hopes and desires of the community.
